Premature Ejaculation: Bother and Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time in Iran

PE has a devastating impact. In clinical practice, primary lifelong PE is by far the most common variety of PE. Occasional PE is a very rare cause of presentation. A significant proportion of the patients who consider themselves as premature ejaculators have IELTs of more than 2 minutes; the sexual medicine community should reach a consensus on the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic approach to these patients who consider themselves as premature ejaculators. The most important cause of bother in PE is the briefness of the ejaculatory latency, rather than the lack of control. Second‐round ED (pseudoED) was reported for the first time. The worst type of PE, i.e., anteportal ejaculation, is not very rare; thus, geometric mean that excludes anteportal ejaculation is not suitable statistics to report the ejaculatory latency time; instead, median is the best measure of IELT reporting. Cutoffs of 0.5-2.5 percentiles are not suitable means to diagnose PE. Zargooshi J. Premature ejaculation: Bother and intravaginal ejaculatory latency time in Iran.
